Trail Lodge

This is basically a youth hostel, and a very expensive one. Kicking myself that I didn’t check the Google reviews first. Came here with my 6yr old and 8yr old. Each room has its own dedicated toilet/tiny bathroom but it is NOT en-suite, it’s too far away to be practical. You cannot expect small children to find and unlock the toilet (yup it needs a key) down a corridor three doors away if they need to go in the middle of the night. Even in the daytime, the walk from the bedroom to the kitchen and lounge is too far to let young kids do it on their own. It’s pointless having a plush bedroom when all the other facilities are too far away for small children to safely go on their own. Absolute disaster of a place. The opposite of kid-friendly. I don’t give a hoot if it’s got a nice lake. I just want a safe environment for my kids to navigate without all three of us having to go everywhere together. If I need to shower or go to the toilet, is it okay to leave my 6yr old three communal doors away? No.

Stayed here with a group of friends - thought it would be nice but it was better than I could have imagined. The staff and location are a dream. It was incredibly clean and the attention to detail was fantastic. Beautifully decorated, close to an amazing restaurant and a train to the capital! Food on site was exceptional and I’ve never seen such a wonderful park with a water powered carousel for the kids. I cannot wait to come back. 12/10
